Multiple Loyalties and Commitments at Work

$338⁰⁰

The authors examine the uniqueness of the public sector in relation to workplace loyalty and commitment, in light of recent phenomena of change in the workplace, including attitudes to work, type of employment and use of technology.

Description

This topic is examined by offering insights on the macro (context), meso (organizational) levels and micro level (individuals) factors that drive public employees to engage differently within the public sector. There are unique factors of the public sector that are examined here in detail related to workplace loyalty and commitment. The chapters provide a closer look to the different macro-areas/dimensions, contexts, or institutional factors affecting employee loyalties in the public sector. Specifically, the following lenses will be used: institutional; public policy domain; public professions; and organization type.

The authors conclude with a reflection on the future of employee loyalty at work. This in a context of technological evolutions (AI), gig work, and agile organizational structures. It offers key implications for theory, practice, and policy-making accounting for public employees' multiple loyalties.
